Hull has a rich and fascinating musical history, and we’re thrilled to showcase it with our extensive timeline. Spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day, this project highlights the city’s vibrant musical past, from local traditions to world-renowned composers and performers who visited along the way.
Among the many legendary names featured, you’ll find Franz Liszt and Edward Elgar, both of whom left their mark on Hull’s cultural landscape. But they’re just part of the story—our timeline also documents countless concerts, performances, and musical milestones that have shaped the city over the centuries. Whether you’re a historian, musician, or just a lover of music, this collection is a must-see for anyone curious about Hull’s deep-rooted musical heritage.
We’d like to thank the Hull History Centre for their work on this
